We can't all be Eleanor Roosevelt, says Mary Dore. The filmmaker's new documentary, She's Beautiful When She's Angry, zooms in on the ordinary women who fuelled the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1960s. 

Dore joins guest host Talia Schlanger to trace back the roots of feminism, share little-known stories about the early days of the movement, and make the case for more intergenerational understanding.
